Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual preliminary diagnosis and biopsy selection are performed by doctors, then diagnostic accuracy can be achieved through human expertise, but detection efficiency is reduced due to dependency on doctor's experience and physical state

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvediagnostic accuracyVSAvoiddetection efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

An artificial intelligence model is introduced as an intermediary between the physiological image and the doctor's decision-making process. The AI model processes the image data and generates auxiliary information including target pixel positions and estimation values, serving as a mediator that enhances both diagnostic reliability and detection efficiency by automating the preliminary analysis while preserving human oversight

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of visual inspection and subjective judgment by doctors is replaced with an automated computational system. The AI model substitutes the mechanical human cognitive process with algorithmic image analysis, automatically identifying target regions and generating quantitative estimation values, thereby improving both efficiency and consistency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual biopsy position selection is performed by doctors, then flexibility in decision-making is maintained, but measurement precision is reduced due to subjectivity in region identification

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision-making flexibilityVSAvoidregion identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms subjective visual assessment into objective quantitative parameters. The AI model generates estimation values and identifies specific target pixel positions with numerical precision, converting the qualitative doctor's judgment into measurable, reproducible data points that maintain flexibility while improving measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The AI model creates a digital copy or representation of the physiological image with annotated target regions and estimation values. This digital copy preserves all original image information while adding precise quantitative measurements and highlighted regions, allowing doctors to review the analysis without losing the ability to make flexible decisions based on the enhanced information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
